There is another similar thread on here about this. Just as a tip from first hand experience, it wasn’t worth it to send my first born to CMU for the BXA program, and looking back we would have been better off at Penn or just about anywhere else. He found that the degree had little value post-graduation and that the art concentration was not sufficient. Like the poster said above- better to get an engineering degree (Penn, MIT, etc) and just do art as a hobby. Most art is made with AI now anyway!

I agree with the last poster. My son did CMU BXA and the degree ended up being irrelevant for him. He regrets not having done just CS as the art part of the program was tremendously underwhelming and didn’t help train him at all. That could just be CMU’s art school though. Probably unrealistic to pursue both and certainly wouldn’t help in their career.
